How It Works
Technical view
The current wash path is effectively wet-only, because the declared `mix` control is inactive and the signal is routed straight into one comb filter and one diffuser per channel. `width` sets the comb delay length, `motion` raises both the comb feedback and the diffuser delay, and `tone` opens the comb damping cutoff before the shared DC-blocking, output-gain, and soft-limiting stage.
- Stereo, Utility & Routing
- waveshaping / saturation
- delay processing
- oscillator / LFO modulation
- DC blocking
Signal Path
Compiled preview chain
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with the shared 19-sample right-channel delay before each side is sent straight into a compact wash network with no dry blend control.

Preview source

Effect core
Wet-only comb-and-diffuser wash applied per channel.
Signal path
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
- internal picked-string demo phrase
- shared stereo spread with a short right-channel delay
- per-channel comb resonator
- per-channel short diffuser
- DC blocker
- output gain trim
- final tanh limiter
Controls that matter
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
- mix: Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
- output_gain_db: Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
- width: Sets the comb delay length inside the wash network.
- motion: Raises the comb feedback and the diffuser delay length.
- tone: Sets the comb damping cutoff.

Controls
Audible controls in this DSP
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the underlying effect structure.
Sets the comb delay length inside the wash network.
Higher settings lengthen the resonant smear.
Raises the comb feedback and the diffuser delay length.
Higher settings make the wash linger longer and spread more.
Sets the comb damping cutoff.
Higher settings keep more upper-frequency detail in the wash.
Analysis
Code-derived notes
Current implementation is effectively wet-only because the declared mix control is inactive.
